Artist: Disturbed
Album: Indestructible (2008 Reprise)
Tracks: 12
Artist website: http://www.disturbed1.com
OVERVIEW:
Disturbed are a band that has really settled into their niche well. They know what they are good at and they know how to keep it interesting. Indestructible is the fourth studio full-length from the band.
I have been listening to them since The Sickness came out. Time and again Disturbed manage to be consistent. In most cases consistency turns to predictability; however, I find that this band manages to bring something new and fresh every time out.
Indestructible is a good album and a step forward in the band’s evolution.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Inside the Fire, The Night, Perfect Insanity
